With a non-blocking socket, if there is space in the local TCP send buffer,
but the current send is more than the available space in the local send
buffer, it should put a portion of it and return a count equal to that
(that is, less than the total buffer you passed to send).
With a blocking socket (that is, you haven't set non-blocking), it should
block until there is send buffer space for the entire buffer on the current
send.

Subject: send and looping
Hi All,
I ahve a small question on using send with sockets.
On normal circumstances can I assume that "send always
sends specified bytes completely" or Do I need to
check for the return value and continue looping till
I send the complete data.
The man pgaes of send say that send normally blocks
when there is no buffer space left. But the man
pages of select_tut say that "send" is not assured
of
sending the complete data.
Can somebody suggestme on what approach do I need to
take. Hope this is the right place to ask this
question.
Thanks and Regards,
